STSPIN840
Compact dual brushed DC motor driver
Datasheet - production data
Description
The STSPIN840 is a compact brushed DC motor
driver able to drive two bi-directional brushed DC
motors simultaneously. It integrates, in a very
small 4 x 4 mm QFN package, both the control
logic and a fully protected low RDSon dual fullbridge power stage.
QFN 4 x 4 - 24 lead
Thanks to a dedicated PARALLEL input pin the
parallel mode function can be enabled,
transforming the device in an equivalent and
more powerful single full-bridge able to deliver up
to 3Arms current at an equivalent HS + LS RDSon
of 500 m.
Features
Operating voltage from 7 to 45 V
Maximum output current 1.5 Arms
RDSon HS + LS = 1 typ.
Current control with adjustable OFF time
Current sensing based on external shunt
resistors
Full protections set
– Non-dissipative overcurrent protection
– Short-circuit protection
– Undervoltage lockout
– Thermal shutdown
Parallel operation mode achieving single fullbridge configuration with output IRMS = 3 Arms
and RDSon HS + LS = 500 m typ.
Low standby current consumption
The STSPIN840 embeds two independent PWM
current controllers (one for each full bridge) based
on user settable values of reference voltage and
OFF time.
The devices can be forced in a low consumption
state reducing the total current consumption down
to less than 45 A.
As with all other devices from the STSPIN family,
the STSPIN840 integrates a complete set of
protections for the power stages (non-dissipative
overcurrent, thermal shutdown, short-circuit and
undervoltage lockout) making it a bulletproof
solution for the new wave of demanding industrial
applications.
Applications
Industrial automation and service robots
Medical and health care
ATM and money handling machines
Stage lighting
Thermal printers
Textile and sewing machines
Vending machines
Office and home automation

STSPIN840
Detailed description
The STSPIN840 is a dual brush DC motor driver integrating two PWM current controllers
and a power stage composed of two fully-protected full-bridges.
5.1
Power supply and standby
The device is supplied through the VS pins, the two pins must be at the same voltage.
At power-up the power stage is disabled and the FAULT pins are forced low until the VS
voltage rise above the VSth(ON) threshold.
If the VS falls below the VSth(ON) - VSth(HYST) value power stage is immediately disabled and
the FAULT pins are forced low.

The device provides a low consumption mode, which is set by forcing the STBY\RESET
input below the VSTBYL threshold.
When the device is in standby status the power stage is disabled (outputs are at high
impedance) and the supply to the integrated control circuitry is strongly reduced. When the
device leaves the standby status, all the control circuitry is reset to the power-up condition.

Logic inputs
The outputs of each full bridge are controlled by the respective PWMx and PHx inputs. The
status of the power bridge is also determined by the PWM current controller as indicated in

PARALLEL mode
The device can operate in parallel mode by forcing the PARALLEL input pin high.
In this operation mode both the full bridges are driven by the ENA, PWMA and PHA inputs.
The PWM current control comparator of the bridge B is disabled, and bridge A one drives
both the power stages.
The resulting single full-bridge power stage allows an increase in the output current
capability and reduce the device power dissipation. The outputs and sense pins
configuration must be:
OUT1A connected with OUT1B
OUT2A connected with OUT2B
All SENSE and SNS pins connected together as shown in Figure 5.
The ENA\FAULTA pin is also used as FAULT indication through the integrated open-drain
MOSFETs as described in Section 5.4 and Section 5.4.3 on page 21.
Note:
In parallel mode the ENB\FAULTB pin is forced low.

Detailed description
PWM current control
The device implements two independent PWM current controllers, one for each full bridge.
The bridge current is sensed through the SNS pins monitoring the voltage drop across an
external resistor connected between the source of the low side power MOSFET (SENSE
pins) and ground.
The voltage of the SNS pins (VSNSA and VSNSB) is compared to the respective reference
voltage pin (VREFA and VREFB).
When VSNSX > VREFX the current limiter is triggered, the OFF time counter is started and the
low sides of the full bridge are turned on (slow decay) until the end of count of the timer.
During current decays the inputs values are ignored until the system returns to ON condition
(decay time expired).

The reference voltage value, VREF, has to be selected according the load current target
value (peak value) and sense resistors value.

Detailed description
STSPIN840
The choice of sense resistors value must be take into account two main issues:
The sensing resistor dissipates energy and provides dangerous negative voltages on
the SENSE pins during the current recirculation. For this reason the resistance of this
component should be kept low (using multiple resistors in parallel will help obtaining
the required power rating with standard resistors).
The lower is the RSENSE value, the higher is the peak current error due to noise on
VREF pin and to the input offset of the current sense comparator: too small values of
RSENSE must be avoided.

The relation between the OFF time and the external resistor value is shown in the graph of

Device protections
5.4.1
Overcurrent and short-circuit protections
The device has circuitry embedded to protect each power MOSFET against the overload
and short-circuit conditions (short-circuit to ground, short-circuit to VS and short-circuit
between outputs).
When the overcurrent or the short-circuit protection is triggered the respective power stage
is disabled and the relative EN\FAULT input is forced low through the integrated open-drain
MOSFET discharging the external CEN capacitor (refer to Figure 9).
The power stage is kept disabled and the open-drain MOSFET is kept ON until the
EN\FAULT input falls below the VRELEASE threshold, then the CEN capacitor is charged
through the external REN resistor.

The total disable time after an overcurrent event is set sizing properly the external network
connected to EN\FAULT pins (refer to Figure 10) and it is the sum of the discharging and
charging time of the CEN capacitor:
Equation 2
tDIS = tdischarge + tcharge
18/28
DocID031835 Rev 1
STSPIN840
Detailed description
Considering tdischarge is normally significantly lower than tcharge, its contribution is negligible
and the disable time is almost equal to tcharge only:
Equation 3
V DD – R EN I PD – V RELEASE
t DIS R EN C EN I n --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- V DD – R EN I PD – V IH
Where VDD is the pull-up voltage of REN resistor.
The recommended value for REN and CEN are respectively 39 k and 10 nF that allow
obtaining 300 µs disable time.

Thermal shutdown
The device has circuitry embedded to protect it from overtemperature conditions.
When the thermal shutdown temperature is reached both the power bridge are disabled and
both the EN\FAULT inputs are forced low through the integrated open-drain MOSFETs (refer
to Figure 12).
The protection and the EN\FAULT outputs are released when the IC temperature returns
below a safe operating value (TjSD - TjSD,Hyst).

Layout recommendations

STSPIN840
Layout recommendations
The STSPIN840 device integrates the power stage; in order to improve the thermal
dissipation, the exposed pad must be connected to the ground plane on the bottom layer
using multiple vias equally spaced. This ground plane acts as a heatsink, for this reason it
should be as wide as possible.
The voltage supply VS must be stabilized and filtered with a ceramic bypass capacitor,
typically 330 nF. It must be placed on the same side and as close as possible to the VS pin
in order to reject high frequency noise components on the supply. A bulk capacitor could
also be required (typically a 33 F). The connection between the power supply connector
and the VS pins must be as short as possible using wide traces.
In order to ensure the best ground connection between the STSPIN840 and the other
components, a GND plane surrounding the device is recommended.
A capacitor between REF pins and ground should be positioned as near as possible to the
device in order to filter the noise and stabilize the reference voltage.
Several vias should be positioned as near as possible each sense resistor connecting them
to the ground plane on the bottom layer. In this way, both the GND planes provide a path for
the current flowing into the power stage.
The path between the ground of the shunt resistors and the ceramic bypass capacitor of the
device is critical; for this reason it must be as short as possible minimizing parasitic
inductances that can cause voltage spikes on SENSE and OUT pins.
The OUT pins and the VS nets can be routed using the bottom layer, it is recommended to
use two vias for output connections.
